Simple Ways to Bring Out the Best in Our Children and Ourselves
Parenting Using Spiritual Principles

What is in your parenting tool box? How do we raise children to be respectful, confident and think for themselves; children who value themselves, are mindful of others, and the world they live in?

Workshop facilitated by Ridvan Foxhall
Ridvan Foxhall is a the proud parent of two soulful human beings Jared (16) and Zia (13). The parenting style my husband and I adopted when our children were born I call “spiritual parenting.” Spiritual parenting to me is an attitude that acknowledges that every child is a unique and wondrous creation, and we have been given the bounty of accompanying our children on their journey towards realizing their potential.

Children have a way of holding the mirror up and revealing our most glaring imperfections. Over the years, my children have taught me to develop love, compassion, patience, humility, flexibility, and much more. Being a mother has been and continues to be one the greatest adventure and pleasure of my life and I love it! It is both wonderful and challenging at the same time, and every year and stage in their development provides me with a fresh new opportunity to grow with them.

Beyond being a mother, I am a teacher, therapist and educator, founder of New Era Creative Space and Children’s Theatre Company of Peekskill. My experience with teaching includes working as the Headmistress of an Elementary School in Nigeria for two years, teacher at Something Good in The World’s Earth School for Homeschoolers program for several years, and over two decades of teaching religious and character education for the Baha’i Community.
